NEET Chemistry Crystal Field Theory MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12
What is the crystal field splitting energy of an octahedral complex if the energy of e_g orbitals increases by 1500 cm^-1?
A
2500 cm^-1
B
5000 cm^-1
C
3000 cm^-1
D
7500 cm^-1
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
In an octahedral complex, the e_g orbitals increase by (3/5)Δo. Given that the increase is 1500 cm^-1, the crystal field splitting energy Δo is calculated as 1500 cm^-1 / (3/5) = 5000 cm^-1.
